Dawn of Relic

The band was formed by Jukka Juntunen in 1993 in Oulu, Finland. They released their first full-length album, One Night in Carcosa, in 1999, on Wicked World Records (aka Earache Records). This album featured two session singers: Nazgul (ex-Horna, Satanic Warmaster) and Mika Tönning (ex-Catamenia). The following album, Lovecraftian Dark, was not released until 2003 by their new record label Season of Mist. "Lovecraftian" in the title refers to the horror writer H. P. Lovecraft, whose writing influenced the subject matter of several of their songs. This influence is also present on One Night in Carcosa.
